+# Contributing
+
+I use my own [Forgejo Instance](https://code.lila.network) to manage issues and pull requests.
+
+* If you have a trivial fix or improvement, go ahead and create a pull request,
+  addressing (with `@...`) the maintainer of this repository (see
+  [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md)) in the description of the pull request.
+
+* If you plan to do something more involved, first please [send me a mail]( mailto:adora@lila.network?subject=%5Bcertwarden-deploy%5D).
+
+# What to contribute
+
+The best way to help without speaking a lot of Go would be to share your
+configuration, alerts, dashboards, and recording rules. If you have something
+that works and is not in the repository, please pay it forward and
+share what works.
